LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

FRALIMONTI BILBERY comes here in good form and has experience over the 'banks' in point-to-points. He won a winners' event in January before two runner-up efforts against decent sorts, most notably chasing home Vital Island at Lingstown on his penultimate point outing. Last year's winner Knockiel Synge was 10 lengths behind the selection that day and has to carry a penalty in this. Course form is always a big plus, though, and he has to be respected. Cloudy Tuesday comes into calculations as well.

Last year's winner Knockiel Synge makes plenty of appeal. but FRALIMONTO BILBERY seems to have his measure on Knockanard running

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

STAY IF U WANT TO won nicely at Kelso last time and gets the vote in a wide-open looking affair. The Soldier Of Fortune gelding looks progressive and could still be on a nice mark off 116. Rocheval finished second to the selection that day before falling when in front at the same course the following month. He's entitled to get closer now at the revised terms. Luminous Light comes here on a hat-trick and is another to bear in mind.

A strong UK challenge is headed by the improving STAY IF U WANT TO, representing a yard that has a good record at this meeting.

15:40 Punchestown (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

SERIENMOND may be worth a shot here despite being a few pounds out of the handicap. The Sea The Moon gelding was a cosy winner on his first outing for Gavin Cromwell and got going a bit late after meeting some traffic when third on his most recent outing at Fairyhouse. Ascending Lark comes here having won five on the bounce and was a cosy winner at Ludlow last time. She could still be on a competitive mark. Willie Mullins has a good record in this race and top-weight Gaucher is another who commands respect.

Despite an unaccountably poor run in the County Hurdle, LARK IN THE MORNIN, last year's Fred Winter winner, remains of major interest

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Willie Mullins saddles four of the six runners and KOPEK DES BORDES is very hard to oppose. The No Risk At All gelding comes here with an unbeaten record and has already struck at the top level twice this season. He survived a mistake at the last to win the Supreme at Cheltenham last month and can complete his Grade 1 hat-trick. Stablemate Salvator Mundi was behind him in fifth at Cheltenham but improved to win impressively at Aintree. He's the obvious danger, ahead of Fairyhouse Grade 2 winner Irancy.

It is difficult to go against the unbeaten Supreme Novices' Hurdle winner KOPEK DES BORDES and he is taken to win again.

16:50 Punchestown (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

BALLYBURN didn't give his true showing at Cheltenham but may be able to bounce back now. He looked like he wanted this kind of trip when scoring at Leopardstown's Dublin Racing Festival and is worth another shot. Stablemate Lecky Watson was good at Cheltenham and is the one to beat on that evidence. He jumps well and three miles brought out the best in him on that occasion. Another strong candidate for Willie Mullins is Impaire Et Passe, who steps up in trip after a fine performance at Aintree.

It could pay to side with the Aintree Grade 1 winner IMPAIRE ET PASSE, whose jumping let him down when he took on Ballyburn at the DRF

LTO Selection:hiden content,

LEADER DES BORDES is a fascinating runner for Willie Mullins and Gigginstown. He made 210,000 euros as a store and the fact that Patrick Mullins takes the mount would suggest he's the pick of the yard's quartet. Santo Sospir is already a bumper winner, having got up late on to score here in February. He looked like he would improve from that experience and is entitled to be a big player. There are also three point-to-point winners in the field and Barry O'Neill's booking for Green Style catches the eye.

Likely to show the benefit of the experience gained on his winning debut SANTO SOSPIR may have the measure of Leader Des Bordes.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

It was slightly surprising to see this as the target for FACT TO FILE, but Willie Mullins obviously feels the Poliglote gelding can operate over the minimum trip. The eight-year-old travels strongly in his races and is a slick jumper. After a highly-impressive win in the Ryanair at Cheltenham last month, he can add another feather to his cap. The Champion Chase winner Marine Nationale will take a bit of beating though. Barry Connell's charge was just edging things when left clear at the last at Cheltenham and was a deserved winner. Solness looks the likely front-runner and could make it a good test.

Though FACT TO FILE is taking a significant drop in trip, he travelled noticeable strongly when winning the Ryanair Chase and can score

STARTING FIFTEEN made a very promising start when runner-up in a Listed bumper at Limerick last month and could take a bit of beating now. The City Light gelding chased home a smart sort that day and with the benefit of that experience, he can go one better. Eagle Of Destiny was a touch unlucky on his debut when runner-up at Thurles last month and is another who could come forward from his initial effort. Patrick Mullins is an eye-catching booking for the Gordon Elliott-trained newcomer Coutach.

With a fine debut effort in a Limerick Listed bumper on debut STARTING FIFTEEN holds Scariff Bridge on that form and can score.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
